On my first image from Alaska, I mentioned the bad weather in Lake Clark National Park. Because of the cloud cover many of the mountains in the park were obscured by the clouds and sometimes the visibility was extremely low. I still managed to see some beautiful landscape possibilities while I was there, and this image is from a small tributary of water which flowed thru the back country from Cooks Inlet. The water level and how far you could go was controlled by the high and low tides. We contrived what was called a booze cruise because of the lack of bear sightings that day. The boat was a rather wide one and chairs were put in it to sit on. While drinking beers or wine, some of us traveled down the tributary, but soon ran out of water to continue on due to the miscalculation of the time of the low tide. It was fun, and we even collected a couple of salmon fisherman from along the shore. I favor beer myself, so I had a beer called Alaskan Amber and one called Alaskan Summer for most of the trip instead of wine.
